The car starting to look a bit better than when we started. The panels going back on after being painted. Also we picked up a PLM Exhaust Manifold to help free up the engine another bit along with a custom exhaust made by a friend.

With the car pretty muched finished we took it for a dyno run and map. It made 197bhp and 121ftlbs torque. Happy enough for a pretty standard set up.
Onto the stickering to make it look like a rally car.

This was my brothers 2nd day out in his car after the build. Big oops at the end. Being repaired at the moment.

New project picked up a couple of weeks ago. Its in a state. Bit worse than i thought when i picked it up.
Stripping it out at the moment and finding alot wrong but it is repairable. Car has a bolt in roll cage already fitted and a sump guard and bucket seats so it still was a bargain for €350.









This car is going to be used for Autocross events in the short term and hopefully gravel rallys in the next couple of years. I am refusing to spend any big money on it and am hoping to build it out of parts we have thrown out of the other cars.

heh. I'm learning traditional Gaelic with a book given to my by my mother-in-law. I just have a knack for languages.

I was curious more about the transmission gearing you're using. I noticed you hit speed limiter a couple times on the last 2 min of the straight after the "rock"..

I of course saw this.

Wonderful job, mate.

So many sweet EG6s. I hate you, in a good way (i.e. I wish I were you). Good job and thanks for sharing!

No not related but he lives a few miles from me. He is a brilliant driver to be fair. Tried to catch him many times but he is just too fast 😊
